Sony Ericsson K618 - 3G mobile entertainment

"The K618 is the ideal phone to bring the benefits of 3G-enabled mobile entertainment to a wide audience," says Jan Wäreby Corporate Executive Vice President, Head of Sales and Marketing, Sony Ericsson. "It will have appeal with the business person on the move, who will appreciate the freedom and choice that the latest mobile technologies can offer. It's a great-looking, desirable phone that you'll want to keep close to hand."

 

Sony Ericsson K618 - Bluetooth streaming

This compact phone is well equipped for both capturing & sharing photos, and playing music. Notably, the K618 features Bluetooth Streaming, which means that full-length music tracks (or video clips) can be sent wirelessly from the phone and listened to on a compatible Bluetooth enabled device, such as the Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970.

 

Sony Ericsson K618 - 2 megapixel camera

One click of the dedicated camera button and the 2.0 Megapixel camera is activated, which comes complete with 2.5x digital zoom and Picture Blog application. This allows the user to post (or blog) their images directly to their own blogsite, giving friends and family the chance to go online and view the shots. The K618 is also ready for making video calls; the separate video telephony camera and high speed 3G connectivity making this a reality.

 

Sony Ericsson K618 - Memory Stick Micro

With so many multimedia functions available, it's possible to build up a sizeable collection of photos, music files, video clips and web pages. The 256MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) provided caters for this and will store around 700 photos or 230 music tracks for example. There is also the option to expand the external memory up to 1GB as an individual's media library grows. The K618 is a striking, slim-line ‘stick' design that will launch in a choice of Vibrant Black or Bright White. This UMTS 2100 device will be available in selected markets from Q3 2006.
